Jenny Brown's statement about her work.
“A tree in Gosford Mall provided support for a stall
display board as well as leaves to pin to it, which
were sold to passersby. Conversations focused on ideas
related to limits of commodification processes, who
controls monetary regimes and determines monetary
values, and the broader ethical concerns of deceit and
powerlessness for many within this system.
This work aimed at providing a context to link to
other works in the wider event such as those relating
to the Gulf War (oil) and local environmental issues
(water), as well as text I provided for the screen
displays taken from Senator Ron Paul in his speech to
the US House of Representatives (2006) called the End
of [American] Dollar Hegemony.
No leaves were sold.”
